Opis

The purpose of this journal is to offer opportunities to provoke thought; encourage internal examination and discovery, as well as inspire creative ideas and evoke a demonstration of compassion, respect and love for all of the creation. For many years now I have dedicated my life to the exploration and study of spirituality and theology. Although they travel very separate roads, I have come to the understanding that theology is simply the history of our desire as mankind to explore our relationship with the God of our understanding while spirituality tends toward the exploratory journey both externally and internally. The sermons contained in this journal span subject matter in every experience; Pagan, Fundamental, New Thought, Modern Christian and Buddhist. It is my sincerest hope that the lessons are helpful to those who have taken on the mantle to teach and inspire others in the ministry and serve as food for their own sermons and lessons. For the reader who is simply looking for an inspired good read, I pray they find new tools ideas and are opened to new considerations of their personal nature and the nature of God through exploration. Too often we as a race (the human race) find reasons to separate our ideas and standards of personally conceived behavior from one another's best interests. It would be wonderful and more fitting for the human race to consider the needs, desires and circumstances of all of its members in unity and compassion. In my personal experience I have found that the better we know someone and the more time we invest in understanding them, the more we grow to hold them in our affection. I have heard it said over and over again that the friend that at first we did not "warm" to immediately, has become our closest and most cherished companion. Or that this best friend of mine "drives me crazy, they are a huge pain in the ass" and "But I love them more than I love myself " The struggle to understand each other bonds us like no other struggle. The greatest hope I have for all of us is a running theme in this manuscript and that is "Learn to Love." The time for tolerance is past; the world WILL change and so must we. From a spiritual perspective we cannot possibly evolve unless we love - God is Love -and so we having the Spirit of God within, also are love. To deny that divine nature is to give in to our baser self and not embrace our full potential as beings, human beings belonging to one race and one people. Rev. Suzanne Daniele-George
